Several ladies looked at Chu Ying, who was only 8 years old, and there were still traces of pig-killing on her body, and the bast shoes on her feet were broken with two holes, obviously she was tall and had broken shoes, and her face was also very sallow, with stubborn eyes and frowning brows and pouting mouths that couldn't help crying, it made people feel distressed.

"Those who kill pigs are hard-hitting, and those who don't have a hard life have already been accepted by Grandpa Hades. Only by being tough can you overcome ghosts and gods, and only then can you go to evil. Even the little ghosts are afraid to kill the pig guy. Li Zisheng saw that Han Da also came out to speak, his waist straightened up, and his voice became louder and louder.

"You mothers-in-law know how to chew the root of your tongue when you have nothing to do, how many girls' reputations have been ruined for you? Have you seen this man? Have you ever gotten along? I haven't gotten along, why talk about others. You are also girls, how will you live after others say this? ”

Chu Ying pinched her thighs, tears and snot flowed out, how miserable it must be at this time, Chu Ying felt okay when she cried at home, but she would rather bleed than shed tears outside, but at this time she needs her own cooperation.

Several eldest ladies watched Chu Ying sobbing and crying into tears, they originally regretted it a little when they heard Han Da's words, and they wanted to go up and comfort the child when they saw this pitiful appearance.

"It's all about being a father and a mother, leave a way for others to live, so that your children can resist if something happens. It's time to work and work, and you can still make money by chewing the root of your tongue? Han Da hugged Chu Ying, who couldn't stop crying, to the car, gave them a vicious look and drove away.

"That little doll is so pitiful, my family is still old and I want candy behind my buttocks."

"yes, yes."

Chu Ying looked back at the woman hiding behind the tree, the last time she came to the house to warn her verbally, this time it is estimated that it has nothing to do with her. Gossip is the most powerful weapon in the world, effortless, killing people invisibly.

"Chu Ying, they are also unintentional, they can say whatever others say, they haven't thought about it." Chu Ying could understand, wiped away her tears and grinned at Han Da.

When Chu Ying returned home, he stepped up to make the rocket stove, and after building two layers, Chu Ying didn't add more, and when it was almost done, it would be considered successful to build two more layers at night, and Chu Ying used mud to extend it out at the entrance of the firewood. For the rocket furnace to be successful, the ratio of the combustion chamber to the air inlet should be controlled in three to one.

But the baffle of the rocket furnace hasn't been solved yet, and we have to go into the city to see if there is anything we can use. Chu Ying took out the 30 coins that Han Da gave today, took out the 1 and 6 coins stuffed under the pillow and the 5 strings of coins in the folded clothes, and counted them all over again.

Chu Ying now felt that she was just like O'Henry's Grande, and she wanted to break a copper plate into two pieces. Put the money away, Chu Ying took 1 yuan and 36 wen yuan and stuffed it in her clothes. After the meal, Chu Ying loaded half a basket of chestnuts on her back and prepared to enter the city.

Fortunately, there is nothing to do today, only two in the morning, and Chu Ying can take the opportunity to go to the city to see her chestnut business.

When she arrived at Qin Zhong's shop, Chu Ying looked at the chestnuts that were only one-fifth left, and her heart was both happy and sad, happy that she had sold so much, and sad that half of the basket might have been lost for bad.

"You're finally here, and I don't know where your home is, look at this back basket, that's all there is left. and look at the bill. Chu Ying looked at a small notebook that Qin Zhong had specially prepared for himself, on which the number and amount of transactions per day were recorded.

There weren't many sales in the first day, but they gradually increased later.

"That's what you brought with you. Bring more next time, I can put it in the back. Chu Ying looked at the last line of 1 money and 75 Wen, and her heart was finally steady.

"Last time, someone wanted to buy more to grind at home, so you ordered it, so he had to buy 5 catties."

"That's not counting your money. This is the price of 34 catties, and I want to mention you 17 Wen. Qin Zhong took out 1 money and 53 Wen and gave it to Chu Ying, "You are quite clever, you have calculated it so quickly." ”

"It's okay, then I'll have someone send it later. Excuse me, help me sell something. ”

"Don't bother, you are such a bad bag, some people bought some other things by the way, so that my store's reputation is good. I have to thank you. Chu Ying poured the rest of the back basket into the half basket of chestnuts she brought, and picked up the empty back basket.

"It's okay if it's not troublesome, then I'll go first, and I wish business prosperity." Chu Ying stuffed the money and went to the Hu family last time, I don't know if Hu Da has any good goods, and he is not at the backyard gate.

Chu Ying walked for a while and finally saw Hu Da roasting his hands in front of the small stove and drinking hot tea.

"Hu Da, do you have any good things today?" Chu Ying looked at the few clay pots in front of him and a few small copper basins with lids.

"Do you want it? And this bronze hand stove. For the sake of an old acquaintance, I'll give you a cheaper. ”

Chu Ying looked at the soup woman pointed at by Hu Da, the pottery flat round pot was like a pumpkin, and there was an opening on the top, which should be a place to pour hot water.

Hand stoves are copper and tin, round and rectangular, with a hollowed-out lid on the top to put carbon inside. There is a handle above the hand stove for easy holding.

"How much?"

"The big one of this pottery is 20 wen, the small one is 10 wen, and the copper is one and a half coins." This kind of winter necessities are usually available to everyone, so they are not very easy to sell, and the copper hand stove is a rich man's enjoyment, Chu Ying didn't dare to think about it.

"Then I want a big and a small pottery, as well as these clay pots. How about a total of 33 articles"

"Okay, these clay pots are broken, be careful when you use them." Chu Ying stacked the four clay pots on top of each other and put the pottery soup pot in the clay pot. "Okay, let's go." Chu Ying looked at the hemp shoes on her feet, and had to go to see if there were any suitable shoes.

Chu Ying looked at the old man who was setting up a stall on the ground repairing his shoes. There are shoes of various colors next to it, mostly winter styles, including leather, wool felt, and silk inside. "Grandpa, what is the price of these shoes?" The old man glanced at Chu Ying's shoes, his dress and height, and pointed to the woolen felt shoes. "Wear this, you're still growing taller, and it's useless to buy expensive ones. Half a penny for a pair. Chu Ying was frightened by this half of the money, thinking that the old man had raised the price when he saw that his shoes were broken.

But after Chu Ying walked around, she found that this one was the cheapest, and it used a lot of materials, so it was warm to the touch. Chu Ying had seen Aunt Wang making shoes before and went to the fabric store to see how much silver the wool felt was, and calculated that the difference between the soles and the old man was 10 Wen, and it was okay to make clothes by herself, these shoes were laborious and time-consuming, mainly because the weather was cold and she couldn't wait, and Chu Ying didn't have time to do it. Chu Ying still didn't save the 10 yuan. "Grandpa, get me a pair of wool felt shoes." The old man took out two pairs of shoes from the sack and asked Chu Ying to try which pair fit. "Grandpa, you still sell this. How much money is this? Chu Ying picked up the handfuls of drills in the small basket, the pointed needles on the wooden handles, and there was a gap in the needles to hook the thread through. Everything related to shoes is available here. This is one of the 20 texts. "Indeed, the old man's stall has everything from the sole to the upper." That's it. And this, a total of 70 texts, give. Chu Ying put the shoes in the back basket and the drill in the inner pocket of the clothes.

Chu Ying stopped by to see what bargains the blacksmith shop had.

Chu Ying found a small copper pot in the dilapidated iron pile, without a handle, only the size of a palm, Chu Ying turned it over and found that it was just a copper lid.

Chu Ying was about to cry stupidly by herself, and then picked a few useless knives and pieces of iron that had been broken and out of shape. "Shopkeeper, how much is this?"

The blacksmith looked at the pile of scrap iron that Chu Ying had taken, only the copper lid was worth a little money. "15 Wen."

According to the old rules, Chu Ying put the copper plates in the pottery bowl, tied these iron pieces together with straw ropes, and put them in the back basket. The back basket full of things is still quite heavy. I have to think of a way to install two wheels underneath, it will be much easier to pull it, but Chu Ying has not entered the city many times, so let's put this idea on hold for now.
